Still or bubbly water on board is about $5.25 for 1 litre
Mohetto's for $7 and some days they have cocktail specials for $4
Wine starts from $27 a bottle for a small selection of Italian and Chilean with a larger selection of French, Californian from $32 with 3 of the 4 Shiraz were from Australia for $40 with the other from California.
They have a selection of " Interesting Wines" as it is written on the wine list which varies from $28 for a mixed selection to $76 for Moët and $176 for Don Periano so Mark Daly come on over!!!! Susan you would love the whole ship thing with a balcony. I did walked past a port hole room yesterday as they were doing the change over and got to have a sticky beak and I'm soooooooo soooooooo glad I have a little balcony to escape to.
Saturday when we were in Venice for the day we caught a vaparetto "water bus" from the dock to S Samuelle which is the area that we will be staying next Saturday for the week at the end of the cruise, check out their web site www.viewsonvenice our apartment .ca Samuelle . Well the vaparetto was so crowded! Personal Space is non existent, my saving grace was Sandy and I were face to face so I could look over her head for that extra few mm's of personal space. She was wedged into some huge guys armpit as he held on the the rail above her head.. And even at 23 deg that deodorant was challenged, I on the other hand had another ladies breasts one either side of my arm and a guy behind me with well let's say I think he must have been please to meet me!!!! When I finally got released from his clutches it was only his veggie shopping that was please to be meet with me. Doing the calculation, you know as I like to do, if we were to have 52 people on our balcony of 6.5 m/2 that ment they could get another 10 people on. That cost 7 euro each so $9.24 so next week the 80 euro $105.60 water taxi will be the go especially with 2 cases and a few backpacks for just a 10min trip. Think I might invest in a water taxi business in Venice or even a "veggie shop"!
In Croatia we found a little corner store where water cost $1.04 and a Milka chocolate bar, yum, european chocolate is so good and it was only $1.44
Our $ is not so good in Italy well especially in Roma and the other tourist place so far but last thursday in Croatia we were rich!
In Slovenia we had 2 Pina Carladers in a side walk street for 5.50 euro so $7 .26 each and a Cappuccino for $4
While in Venice surely the most expensive city in the world in San Marco Square with a view of San Marco Basicilla and the bell tower with its gold statue on top we stopped for glass of Italian fun bubbly and as you first sit down they put a leaflet in front of you with a smile to inform you it will cost you 6 euro per person for the music so $7.92 for the pleasure of sitting there, but that is only if you going to order something, other wise on your bike kids.
A Cappuccino was 9 euro $11.88 so $39.60 before we even got to the fun bubblies so with the 2 bubbles it totalled $68.64. The fun bubbles did come with some salted chips and 6 of the best tasting Sicilian Olives, what an amazing place to sit and watch the world go by and the musicians even had the hide to have a 15 minutes break while we were there!! So where is my 2 euro refund? Well that's why we have been saving up for those cups of coffee in Venice for so long!!! It was well worth every € , well it is Venice after all
